Hi

Do some of you experience issues with the performance of the WLAN with DD-WRT?

In the earlier releases for the Fonera, I had one Fonera as WDS AP on the second floor, and one Fonera as WDS Station on the first floor and it was great performance. About 25Mbps througput over the WLAN link.

But lately, last weeks, I can never reach more than 12-13Mbps with the same location but between Fonera and Linksys. Dont know if the problem is within the firmware on the Fonera, or on the Linksys.

Its however really poor performance. If I connect a laptop wirelessly to the Linksys in the same room the performance isnt more than 15Mbps! Where it before was about 25Mbps...

Any one having any ideas what have happened with the Wireless part? It feels like for every new release of DD-WRT, more functions are resolved, but performance is poorer and poorer!

I've done a lot of messing with both my linksys and these fons to try to get the performance up, and maybe it had nothing to do with it, but enabling short preamble seemed to help alot.

ill give short preamble a try later.. thanks for the tip.

Short preamble on all routers made it only worse, 5-10Mbps

Joksi, I just did an actually bandwidth test, and with my laptop built in wireless, I could transfer ~3000 kilobytes / second, vs. the fonera ~1000 kilobytes / second.

I tried many combinations of settings, on both the fonera and my main linksys wrt54g, and 1500 kilobytes / second was the fastest I ever went.

All my measurements were taken in the same place, and my fonera even has the 2 antenna mod.

i would love to get more people involved with finding the best settings for speed increase and range.
